Opposition leftist parties discuss potential solutions to Hungary’s housing problems
Change language:
Opposition parties discussed and generally agreed on a six-point proposal to resolve housing problems in Hungary put forward by the A Varos Mindenkié (The City is for All) civil group.
At a forum held on Wednesday evening in Budapest, representatives of the Socialist Party, green opposition LMP, the leftist Democratic Coalition (DK), Együtt, Dialogue and Momentum were in agreement on five of the six points offered by the NGO.
The sole area of disagreement concerned the idea of enshrining the right to housing in Hungary’s constitution.
Socialist board member Lajos Korozs said the right to housing should have been cemented in the constitution long ago.
Együtt leader Viktor Szigetvári said the right to housing should be a second-generation right, arguing that requirements for it could be enforced on the level of laws.
DK’s Peter Niedermüller said
parties should think about how the right to housing could be enshrined in the constitution.
